Thank you for these articles, Ian, and for the links. As you might have seen from an earlier thread, my current focus is on a piece of medieval storytelling and I'm writing up a PhD. It's about an Arthurian tale written in Occitan in (I believe) 1225, so slightly before the Cantigas. Although I don't think I'll be able to include anything practical about it in time for my submission date (which is January) I would dearly love to explore working with a musician at some point, to see what might work with the story. It'd be great to find a way to meet up (if only via Skype) to talk about it some time.
